Thom's Directory lookup 1871 and 1887

Hi there,

Thanks for this. Unfortunately I don't have his death cert. But he was referred to as a Doctor by his family.

The marriage in 1873? That is Lancelot.

Have you any ideas as to where else I could look?

All the best

  Age : 28  (est. year of birth 1852)

Hi Shane,

Thanks for this.
I doubt his marriage cert will help. He was only 21 when he married so he wouldn't have been a qualified doctor.
I don't have his death cert but the cemetery records have his profession as 'farmer'

The idea of him being a Doctor started from old family letters where he is referred to as a Doctor. And on his daughter's death notice he again is referred to as Doctor

What I need to do is find a way of seeing if he studied for his 'Doctorship' I would try The Royal College of Physicians but at an initial 25 euro charge, I'll have to leave it for now.

Thanks again

Jacqui

Hi there! I am new here and hope I am asking in the right place.....
Dr. Edward Doyle, surgeon, L.M., B.A., T.C.D. is listed here - I think he may have been my relative married to Ellen Mulloghan. Is there anyway you could please help me find out? Thx again. Michelle.

Here's that Edward Doyle on the 1901 census living at Irishtown Road. He's a widower with two sons and a daughter, ranging in age from 16 to 19.

see Doyle household - 1901

I dont believe that Edward's wife's name was Ellen - I've found a possible marriage for him with an address on the same street as above in 1879 which I'm following up to check if this information fits with the children's births.

I'll post more details when I've confirmed them.

Are you a descendant of this Ellen and an Edward Doyle ?
Maybe a birth cert for one of their children would be the way to progress as this would confirm the couples full names, and also the occupation of the father, and an address which might help locate the family on the census ..

Thanks for your fast reply Shane! I will get a death certificate for their daughter Maria. I know I took too many steps back......On her marriage certificate her Dad is listed as a doctor. Will check some more.
Thanks so much!

[shanew147]

Is Maria's father also named Edward ?

Maybe there are other Dr. Edward Murphy's - might be worth checking the census returns. Do you have an approximate year of birth for Maria ?

You didn't mention where your Maria died... but it's worth noting that Irish and English death certs are not very informative in term of family history...

..76 Irishtown Rd is listed as doctors with the surname Doyle.

  1879  Michael Doyle,  M.D. surgeon and accoucheur
  1884    "                     "                "
  1894  Dr. Edward Doyle, surgeon, L.M., B.A., T.C.D.
....

I believe this Edward A. Doyle married Angela Mary Wade in Sept. 1879, and she died in 1884. I dont see baptisms for the children on IrishGenealogy, but they are possibly in Star of the Sea, Sandymount, which is not included in the online records.

Angela is buried in Glasnevin cemetery. Edward is listed at the same Irishtown Rd. address up to the 1930s.
